Real Gender: Identity, Loss, And The Capacity To Feel Real, Hannah Wallerstein
Real Gender: Identity, Loss, And The Capacity To Feel Real, Hannah Wallerstein
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This project concerns gender and feeling real. It begins with a seeming paradox: on the one hand, since Judith Butler (1999; 2011) we can no longer think gender as ontological in any simple sense; on the other, clinical experience and the voices of transgender and gender-queer individuals shows gender to function on the order of reality, and one exceeding the social. In other words, if feeling real depended entirely on being read as such, how would we account for the many who pass easily as “real” men or women and yet feel unreal, or come to feel more real by …
Sex, Sexuality And Sexual Practice For Trans Individuals And Their Romantic Partners., Kinton Rossman
Sex, Sexuality And Sexual Practice For Trans Individuals And Their Romantic Partners., Kinton Rossman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Transgender populations demonstrate significant sexual diversity, with over three-fourths (77%) of transgender individuals identifying as sexual minorities (Grant et al., 2011); however, a majority of research on sex, sexuality, and sexual practice has focused exclusively on cisgender and heterosexual individuals and, perhaps more importantly, addressed these issues a heteronormative and cisnormative perspective (Nichols, 2014). Such frameworks have created significant gaps in research about sex, sexuality, and sexual practice for trans individuals including understanding how gender transition influences sex and sexuality and how trans individuals and their partners engage in sexual practice. The current study addressed these omissions in the literature …

Investigating Inner Experience While Reading An Erotic Short Story, Leiszle Rae Lapping-Carr
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
An investigation of the phenomenological aspects of sexual response is needed for a more comprehensive understanding of human sexuality. To obtain high fidelity descriptions of inner experience during a sexually oriented task, the current study used Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES) while seven participants read an erotic short story. Participants were trained in DES by sampling during everyday activities. After training, they were sampled while reading two classic short stories on a web-based program. Participants then sampled their experience while reading an erotic short story using the same web-based program. Some of the participants were willing to discuss their inner experience …
Five Degrees: A Short Story, Cassia E. Hinds
Five Degrees: A Short Story, Cassia E. Hinds
Honors Undergraduate Theses
An interwoven fiction piece representing four perspectives and its effects on self-awareness. The most effective way to blur the line of self in this structure is to braid the minds, voices, and stories, of each perspective. With a focal point where all the voices eventually drift to being the frame of the story, there will be a unique distance between the stories. This thesis explores the effects of different types of mental and physiological illnesses through fiction, highlighting the effect of perception on fact and the perspective of the mentally ill.
A Practical Approach To Address Pornography Viewing At Olivet Nazarene University, Jacob Ruetz
A Practical Approach To Address Pornography Viewing At Olivet Nazarene University, Jacob Ruetz
Honors Program Projects
The pornography industry gains new ground and pushes new limits every day in an effort to raise revenues and demand. When pornography is evaluated as an efficient business, the potential for dehumanization, physical and emotional degradation, and the deterioration of a person’s spiritual and relational health become possible. On a small, Christian campus like Olivet Nazarene University (ONU), discussing topics as harmful and popular as pornography should be simple. However, the mindset of fear and silence when admitting weakness as a Christian can deter progress. Through a voluntary survey distributed to current undergraduate students, an overview of the student knowledge, …
